At the deadline to register for candidacy for the EPISD Board of
Trustees, Rodolfo Lopez, who had initially registered to run for Place
1, the place he presently occupies, has surprisingly decided to take
his name from Place 1 and put his candidacy into Place 2 where he will
run against Ignacio Saucedo and Hector Mijares. This move evens out
the proverbial field and will make the November 6th elections that much
more compelling come election day.
Four positions are up for the EPISD Board.
Suzy Perez, Elections Coordinator for the EPISD, informed The News
Gram that the candidates for Place 1 are Claudio Heredia and Jose
Reyna. For Place 6 the candidates are local attorney David Riojas who
is seeking re-election and is running against Jesus Casas and Dr.
Hector Alvarez.
Finally, for Place 7, Glenna Purcell seeks re-election versus Tom Cary
and Marcos Villalpando.
Perez added that August 27th at 10:00 A.M. a drawing will be held to
determine the order in which candidates' names will appear on the
ballots.
Early voting begins October 22nd through November 2nd and the general
election will take place November 6th.
